Chapter 16 See you in the study

Lu Yunque glanced at the sky, got up and walked in the direction of Xishi.

The West Market of Yongxiu County is a place where Hu merchants and merchants trade goods and ordinary people sell goods, covering an area of three squares, and there is a river passing through it, and the river is full of small boats carrying goods.

When Lu Yunque arrived in the West Market, the market had just opened, a large number of people stood in front of the fang, Lu Yunque slowly squeezed in along the crowd, and finally came to a study called Jing'an, tidied up his clothes before walking in.

"Yo, the little lady of the Lu family is here, it just so happens that we have a new batch of translations, can you come and see if there is anything you like?" A man in a brown shirt with a strip of cloth on his head and his forehead greeted him and said with a smile.

"Well, ask Ah Le to take me to have a look, Uncle Lei will first pack a batch of paper and pens for me according to the old rules, and I will take them with me later," Lu Yunque said.

The sixth child of the Lei family agreed, and then called a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy and led Lu Yunque to the backyard.

There were a large pile of wooden boxes in the backyard, all with stacks of books, and rows of wooden shelves beside the cloister, on which the books were arranged in different categories.

"The lark is here, come on, come on, here is the new workbook, which is more detailed than the last one." A man in a dark coat walked out from behind the bookshelf, holding several books in his hand, each one a little finger thick.

Lu Yunque took it with a smile, opened it and looked at it, "Sure enough, it's very detailed, and there are some foreign buildings, Uncle Yan bought it back for a lot of money." ”

"That's, this is the Hu merchant who consigned the goods three months ago and brought it back from the foreign land, I am strict with the printing of the architectural book, this is the version of the sage's reward to the Great Moon Kingdom, but because of translation problems, the content is a little biased, but compared to the ones on the market now, it is also very good." I saw an old man with clear eyes and a round-necked robe, holding a sandalwood liuyun cane, walking out of the inner room slowly.

Lu Yunque hurriedly bowed his head to the old man and saluted, "Yan Ah Weng Wan'an." ”

The old man smiled and waved his hand, walked to the wooden chair on the side and sat down, "Smell the sound, you send the schoolbag to the lark, and send it back when you finish reading it." ”

Yan Wensheng nodded in agreement, called a small servant over and gave orders.

"Grandpa, yesterday a man surnamed Lin asked me to find him a translation of foreign Buddhist scriptures, and I made an appointment to come over and get it later, so you can talk to the lark first, and I'll come back later."

The old man nodded, which was considered to be an agreement, and Yan Wensheng bowed again and turned around and went to the front yard.

The old man beckoned to Lu Yunque, and Lu Yunque obediently sat beside the old man of the Yan family.

This old man of the Yan family is the teacher of Lu Yunque's grandfather Lu Qi, Yan Wensheng is his adopted son, the old man of the Yan family has been addicted to books all his life, has never married a wife, and treats Lu Yunque as his own grandchildren, but the old man was not here when Lu Qi died, otherwise the mother and daughter would not have had such a difficult time.

The old man of the Yan family doesn't like to gossip with people, but just asks Lu Yunque about some things in books, and the content of the conversation between the two is like that of a teacher and a student.

"Ah Weng, this Lin Jialangjun, said that he had heard of you and wanted to come and see you." Yan Wensheng pushed open the door and walked in, and as he spoke, a person was introduced by the way.

Hearing this, Lu Yunque consciously got up and avoided it, and retreated behind the screen.

"Old man Yan Wan An, junior Lin Yao, is a student of Tan Liufeng Tan Fuzi, and I often hear the teacher mention you, so I came to visit before." Lin Yao followed Yan Wensheng to the old man of the Yan family, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down, and made a salute.

The old man of the Yan family heard Tan Liufeng's three words for a moment, and then his hand on crutches trembled slightly, looking like he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, Yan Wensheng saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man of the Yan family.

"Your teacher... Is he okay now, and where? The old man of the Yan family asked, his voice trembling slightly.

"The teacher has been living in Xuzhou, nine years ago into the forest to teach me, a year ago because of the cold in the first month, the immortal died in the early spring." Lin Yao glanced up at the old man of the Yan family, and continued: "The teacher handed me a wooden box when he was dying, saying that he would give it to you when he saw you in the future, and I have already sent someone home to pick up the wooden box, and it will be delivered in about half a month."

The old man of the Yan family didn't speak for a long time after listening to this, but Yan Wensheng went to help Lin Yao up and sat aside.

"Does your teacher have any other relatives?" Old Man Yan asked in a dumb voice.

"No, the teacher has never married a wife in his life, and he has been living alone in Xuzhou City." Lin Yao replied.

The old man of the Yan family closed his eyes and sighed after hearing this.

Lu Yunque originally wanted to leave quietly when he heard Lin Yao's voice, but there was no other shelter left and right on this screen, so he could only stay and listen quietly.

Lu Qi also said in front of Lu Yun that Tan Liufeng was a confidant and close friend of the Yan family, but in the early years, they seemed to have a disagreement with each other, and then they parted ways, and they have never been in touch since.

Lu Yunque poked his head slightly from behind the screen and glanced at the scene outside.

"I'm a little tired today, so I'll send me back to my room to rest." The old man of the Yan family slowly stood up, walking towards the inner courtyard step by step on crutches, but his body seemed to be a little rickety compared to before, and he looked a few years older in an instant.

Yan Wensheng smiled apologetically at Lin Yao and walked in with the old man.

For a while, there were only Lin Yao and Lu Yunque hiding behind the screen in the backyard.

"The person behind the screen is a guest of Master Yan, if you don't mind, come out and sit for a while." Lin Yao said with a smile.

Lu Yunque paused when he heard this, held the screen with his hand and hesitated a little, but after thinking about it, he walked out.

Lin Yao sat on a chair and drank tea, originally thinking that a man talking about business would come out from behind the screen, but he didn't expect it to be Lu Yunque.

"How are you?" Lin Yao was a little surprised.

"I came to buy some paper and pens today, and I happened to meet Yan Jia's Ah Weng, so I sat down to talk to him for a while." Lu Yunque's eyes were a little fluttering when he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at Ling Lin Yao.

When Lin Yao saw Lu Yunque's appearance, he knew that she still had the last incident in her heart. Raised his hand to pick up a new cup, poured a cup of tea and placed it next to him. "Let's come over for a cup of tea."

Lu Yunque wanted to refuse, but Lin Yao kept looking at her, making her a little unable to say anything to refuse, and finally sat next to Lin Yao.

"I shouldn't have talked like that last time, and I ask the people of Luya to forgive me." Lin Yao opened his mouth a little uncomfortably.

Lu Yunque thought he had heard it wrong, was this Lin Jiaerlang apologizing to himself? For a while, I couldn't react.

Lin Yao waited for a long time and didn't see Lu Yunque speak, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. I have already apologized first, why didn't this Luya man speak for a long time? Could it be that you are still disgusted and not sincere enough?

Lu Yunque saw Lin Yao's face slowly darkening, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, what Lin Jiaerlang said is also the truth, this is mine."

Lin Yao didn't say anything more, just picked up the tea and drank it carefully, and the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.

"I know that the Luya people have their own difficulties, and if I have anything to help, the Luya people can also speak." Lin Yao glanced sideways at Lu Yunque

Lu Yunque felt a little complicated in his heart, smiled, lowered his head and sighed softly, "It's okay, I can solve it myself." ”

Lin Yao wanted to say something more, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a sound of footsteps.

"Lin Jialangjun is really embarrassed, my family Ah Weng is suddenly a little unwell, and I can't come out to greet you today. I have asked the little servant to wrap the book you want, and Ah Weng has instructed, if you have any other needs, please bring it up, and you are welcome. Yan Wensheng walked out of the courtyard, the smile on his face was a little far-fetched.

Lin Yao knew that he was worried about the old man of the Yan family, and what he said today was afraid that it would make the old man sad for a while, so he didn't say anything, raised his hand and made a thank you gift, "I'm tired of the shopkeeper." ”

"It's okay, that's what I'm supposed to do."

After hearing this, Lin Yao got up and went to the front yard, and after taking the things from the little maid's hands, he took his leave.

Yan Wensheng watched Lin Yao walk out, sighed, and sat down.

"How is Yan Aweng?" Lu Yunque asked anxiously.

"It's not a big deal, but I'm a little sad in my heart, and I may have to rest for a while." Yan Wensheng raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, "I've never seen Ah Weng lose his temper like this." ”

Lu Yunque said a few words of comfort, and when Yan Wensheng got up to go to the inner courtyard, he also followed, and after looking at Yan Aweng who was lying on the bed for a while, he got up and said goodbye, Uncle Yan was already annoyed enough today, and it was inconvenient for him to stay here and make trouble for him again

Lu Yunque thought about it after walking out of the West Market, got up and walked to the wine shop in Fulin Fang, there were many guests who came to drink in the afternoon, and Lu Yunque finally found the third aunt of the Zhang family in the crowded lobby.

The third aunt of the Zhang family was sitting at the small table in the southwest corner, drinking slowly with a glass of wine, Lu Yunque squeezed in all the way, and was accidentally hit by someone, and his hands were propped on the table.

The third aunt of the Zhang family was taken aback, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Lu Yunque. "What's the matter? Look at you're in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly. ”

Lu Yunque sat down, took a breath, looked at the third aunt of the Zhang family and said, "Third aunt, I may not be able to sell the house in Mingyuefang."

The third aunt of the Zhang family frowned when she heard this, "What's the matter?" Isn't it a good talk? ”

"Then Erlang of the Lin family is unwilling to do that." Lu Yunque said with a wry smile, "And somehow, I can't open my mouth to him." Lu Yunque lowered his head as he spoke.

The expression on the face of the third aunt of the Zhang family was also a little complicated when she heard this, and she felt that Lu Yunque was strange in what she said, unlike her usually.

"This is normal, you haven't done these things in the past, this Lin family Erlang doesn't look like a lack of money, maybe he really doesn't look down on those little money, in this case, don't be reluctant, I'll accompany you to ask for a quasi-letter tomorrow, if it doesn't work, you will hand over this house to me." The third aunt of the Zhang family poured herself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. "Don't worry about this anymore, I'll go with you to meet the second dog of the Tu family, I don't believe he can turn the world upside down."

Lu Yunque smiled bitterly in her heart, this is what the third aunt of the Zhang family said in order to relieve her heart, but she didn't say it, she just silently thought of a way in her heart, not wanting the third aunt of the Zhang family to worry about her own affairs anymore.
